Actually, I'm on Verizon and we've been getting consistent monthly updates. When I had my iPhone, I didn't get consistent updates. Just an OS upgrade, then the subsequent bug fixes.

Yes, but iPhones typically get supported with OS updates more than your average Samsung or Android phone. It's not a big deal for me, since I'm comfortable with either OS and I prefer the openness of Android. But I'm a little disappointed that I'll have to wait a little bit longer for 8.0 on my Note 8.

I'd never get rid of my N8 based solely on a lack of updates. If I had a feature missing or a big glitch caused by a lack of software support it might be different. But as it's been said, the Note 8 as is works great so I'm not going to gripe too much.

Samsung and Google seem to be trying as much as anyone to institute monthly "Patch Tuesday" esp once phones ship with Project Treble support

That could be the main issue Gayle - once the news was leaked that the Samsung S8/S8+ edition didn't have support for "Project Treble", they probably got so much push-back that they just decided they'd better just scrap the project until they got it right! After all, "Project Treble Support" was one of the key features of Oreo... what's the sense of sending it out without it???
